Apollo 14

Golf Club Head

Just before departure from the Moon on Apollo 14 mission, Alan B. Shepard drove a golf ball on the lunar surface. The golf club was a contingency sample extension handle with a No. 6 iron golf club head attached. The one- sixth gravity on the Moon compensated for the difficulty Shepard had making a good swing in his bulky space suit and back pack.
